give an example of temporary migration
Answers
A temporary worker generally enters a country for a fixed-time period for a particular occupation or employer, must leave when the period expires, and in most cases is not entitled to family reunification or adjustment to permanent residence. Temporary worker programs cover both unskilled and highly skilled labor. A typical program range was categorized by Heinz Werner (1996) as follows:
One-year work permits for experts and executives;
Border crossing permits allowing residents of neighboring countries or territories to enter the host country daily or weekly to work;
Seasonal work permits;
Project-tied contract labor authorizing entry for completion of a specific project; and
Trainee permits allowing individuals to work in the country for a defined period of time to gain certain occupational or language skills.
